30 amp breaker trips when air conditioner and refrigerator cycle at same time

I have a 2014 Forest River DS3010 (Class C). The fridge is a stainless steel double door model with typical fridge/ freezer combo. As an electrician, I realize that both draw high amps when each compressor is on.

My question is: Other than living with the freezer using gas only or not running ac, is there anything I can do and am I missing something?

How do you run your hot water heater? Gas or electric? The electric draws 12 + amps and the AC also draws 12+ amps. If you run the hot water heater on gas it will leave you with plenty of power for the AC and fridge.

Since I don't know thank you for prompt response. But the electric side still has a compressor does it not. My unit can run electric (shore power or generator) just like a residential. Or switch over to gas if I choose. So going to the link you provided with 14 to 16 amp draw for ac and 8 amp draw for fridge I should not be tripping the breaker. Any suggestions...

"elind", Thank you, that make sense since I was trying to run everything on electric. I honestly don't know about the water heater. One of those questions that I missed during the buyout class on unit. I will have to research the water heater.

As a thought for all who look at this thread. Would it not make sense to have a unit that can handle all power requirements electrically since it does have a generator and appears to be totally self sufficient. This might lead back to a quality issue.

As Turbs said, if you have a refrigerator that will run on propane or elec, there is no compressor. You might also have a weak 30A breaker. FR does not furnish the best quality breakers. Just unplug from shore power, remove the breaker and take it to Lowes/HD and get a brand name replacement.

We've only tripped the breaker one time when TOWTA had the mw going, toaster oven, coffee pot perking and the ac kicked on and shut everything down. Shut the mw off and everything was good. I had removed all the breakers previously and bought brand name replacements @ Lowes when the trailer was new. The original breakers went in the blue box with wheels.
